I would agree with this. Interesting way of looking at it.

But just an fyi, dunning Krueger effect has been disproven as a theory because the correlation the studies purported to find were only the same variables correlated with themselves.

Dunning Krueger is a flawed theory and the effect is not real. But i hear you, it definitely feels true a lot of times.

In my field, over confident people are unsafe.

If someone uses confidence to show their competency, I have a tendency to back off and question their actual abilities until I see it in action. If someone I am working with is unaware of their own experience someone on my team could die.

Edit: obviously in the medical field if y’all don’t know what you’re doing a patient could have a bad outcome or even die as well.
